What is The fidelity of spin trapping with DMPO in biological systems about?

## Abstract Unlike direct ESR, spin trap methodology depends on the absolute fidelity of the spin trap reaction. Two alternative reactions of 5,5‐dimethyl‐1‐pyrroline __N__‐oxide (DMPO) leading to radical adduct artifacts have been discovered and investigated: inverted spin trapping and the Forrester–Hepburn nucleophilic mechanism. These two alternate pathways to radical adducts are a combination of one‐electron oxidation and nucleophilic addition, in either order. In biological systems, serious artifacts have been reported due to the Forrester–Hepburn mechanism, which is initiated by the addition of a nucleophile to DMPO. It has recently been demonstrated that (bi)sulfite (hydrated sulfur dioxide) can react with DMPO via a nonradical, nucleophilic reaction, and it has been further proposed that DMPO/^•^SO~3~^−^ formation in biological systems is an artifact and not the result of spin trapping of sulfur trioxide anion radical (^•^SO~3~^−^). The one‐electron oxidation of (bi)sulfite catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase (HRP)/hydrogen peroxide (H~2~O~2~) has been reinvestigated by ESR spin trapping with DMPO and oxygen uptake studies to obtain further evidence for the radical reaction
